Chapter 14

Nanoha POV

I burst in the hospital with Fate in my arms and ask the first nurse I saw to seek Dr. Shamal. Of course the nurse asks me what was the problem in which I told her in the most compose way I could manage. Once she understood Fate-chan condition, she called for another nurse to go get a wheel bed ask me to put Fate-chan as she go search for Dr. Shamal. A few minutes Dr. Shamal show up in the waiting room where I was waiting for her with Fate.

"Hinata bring Fate to the emergency room quickly and get her prepared, I'll be right behind you. Miss Takamachi…" Shamal said as soon as the bed was brought.

"Please call me Nanoha." I put Fate on the bed and focus on what Dr. Shamal had to say.

"Nanoha I want to personally thank you for bring Fate back to us, I will take the lead from here. Hinata already told me what you told her."

"Please save her. I don't know what I'll do if she…oooh please save her Shamal."

"I promise I'll do whatever it takes to save her. I also do not want to lose such a dear friend to me." She signals Hinata to push the bed to the emergency room and look at me for a last time before following the nurse.

I went and do the only thing I could right now which is to sit down and wait.

OoO

An hour…two hours…three hours…four hours pass and still no news about Fate. My friends, Fate's family and close friends had time to come and wait for Dr. Shamal to come out and tell us that everything was alright and that Fate would be back on her feet in no time. But as time passed I started to panic to a point where I couldn't even stay sited and just walk back and forth in the waiting room while looking at the door where as last saw Fate go in. A few minutes more past before Dr. Shamal finally came out thru that door. We practically all ran towards her but I was the quickest and without wasting I ask what everyone wanted to know.

"How is she Dr. Shamal?"

"Well…" Shamal looked at everyone then at me. "I have good and bad news."

"Give us the good news first?" I only wanted to hear the good news. I mean who likes to hear bad news anyway. Unfortunately I knew I had to also know what the bad news is, but first things first.

"Okay I'll just go straight forward and simple. The good news is that Fate will fully recover from her physical wounds."

"That's good to hear." Fate's mother said.

Chrono hug her mother who seemed to relax a little and ask the next question. "What's the bad news then?"

"The bad news is…Fate…is in a coma due to a harsh blow that she received on the head which can have bad result if she…when she wakes up."

"What kind of results?" I ask and I could tell everyone wanted to know also.

"Memory lost, mental illness or… even… a total none function of the brain." Before anyone could say something she continued. "Now the last one may not happen because we could detect some small brain activity…but it is possible that with time…she might…"

"Enough I don't want to hear none of that. Testarossa is a strong woman she will wake up from this. She'll come back to us…" Signum looked at Einhart and Vivio who just stayed silent while listening to Shamal before looking at me. "…we all need her here with us. Some more than others."

I was happy that Signum cut Shamal because I really didn't want to hear that Fate might not make it. As I went to seat down I barely paid anymore attention to my surroundings as the rest of the group decide to bombarded Shamal with more question. I was scared, so very scared. Now that Fate has imprinted herself deep in my very core it was hard to imagine my life without her. Never have I felt this way for another not even for Yuuno. I started to tremble my vision became blur as tears started to pour out. 'Fate please…I beg you don't leave me…I need you so badly.' I was losing it when a hand lay on my shoulder. I looked up to see who it was even thou I barely could see.

"She won't leave you. She loves you too much for that. Have faith in her." Is it me or those Signum have the power to read minds. Still her words comfort me a little and I smiled just little to let her know I was ok. She sat down next to me and silently waited, I don't know, some kind of miracle to happen.

OoO

I look at Fate on the hospital bed. I was exhausted but I refuse to leave her side. It has been four days since we find her unconscious in that house. Like Shamal said she was recovering from her physical wounds and quite fast too. As for the damage on her head Shamal said that it was still pretty bad but we could only know just how bad it is when she would wake up. Vivio and Einhart went back to school as I ordered them and came to visit after their club activities. I let them be there till 6 then ask Signum to take them home. I also ask Signum and Einhart to stay at my place so Vivio and Einhart wouldn't be alone since I sleep at the hospital. It was now 8 pm and time for Fate usual check-up. That was the only time Shamal could actually kick me out of her room. I went to the cafeteria to grab something to eat when I met Hayate, Vita, Chrono and Lindy eating and chatting calling me to join them once I pick-up my meal.

"Any progress with my sister." Chrono ask once I sat down next to him.

"She is healing from her wounds and bruises. Either that, there is no progress so far." I responded as I sat down next to him and started eating slowly.

Silence filled the table for a while. It seems I was losing more and more my appetite. Hayate saw that and forces me to eat more. "You don't want Fate-chan to find you in a weak and fragile state when she wakes up now do you." That always help me eat the necessary I need to stay healthy. As we finish our meals. We were heading back to Fate room to see her once more before parting when a nurse came rushing towards us and stop in front of Fate mother.

"Mrs. Harlaown, we have news about your daughter. She has awakened." Said the nurse.

"What? Really? I want to see her…"

"No one can see her right now. Dr. Shamal is running some test on her right now. She will come to you in the waiting room when she's finish."

"How much can you tell us on her state?" I said before she left us.

"It is not my place to say…" she looks at my depressing face and the others. "But…she looks lost and scared. She wouldn't let us get near her. That is all I can say, Dr. Shamal will let you know once she's done." And she left us to go back to her post.

A half-hour later Signum and the girls joined us since we promised Einhart that she would see her aunt as soon as she wakes up. As on cue Shamal came in the waiting room and we all look at her with hope in our eyes.

"How is she Shamal?" I said impatiently.

"Fate's is doing well physically and will be able to get back on her feet in a few days but we have found that she has lost memory at a point where she can't seem to know anyone not even herself. Also she seems to fear anyone that gets close to her we had to actually hold her still in order for me to do some check up on her."

This was very hard to swallow especially for me. My love didn't remember me and feared everyone. 'Will she fear me too if she saw me.' I still wanted to see her.

"Can we still see her?" Lindy asks.

"Well…I will allow you but not for long. She still need some rest. Fallow me please."

And we all followed her. The room was big enough for all of us to fit in. As soon as Fate saw us all, she started to panic. I could see her tense up even after seeing me. It broke my heart to see Fate rejecting me it hurt a lot.

"Fate-chan, this is your relatives and friends. This is Lindy-san your mother…" and Shamal introduce all of us one by one. Fate didn't say anything just look at us trying to remember each face. "Now they are good people and their will not harm you. Will you let them approach you?"

"I-I don't know… I don't know them. I can't possibly trust strangers? They might try to hurt me. Isn't that the reason why I'm in the hospital?" It hurt hearing her say that I might harm her. 'I'll never hurt you Fate-chan. I love you too much for that.'

"They're not strangers. You just don't remember them right now. But you will progressively just let us help you."

"I-I'll try. But don't let them touch me. I don't want to feel that pain again."

I started crying; not wanting to show myself in that state I ran out of the room Hayate followed me. "Nanoha come back. I know it's painful to see her like this but we must be strong in order to help her. She obviously needs us…no…she needs you. Help her remember the love you both shared. I know deep inside she still loves you and you love her."

"You're right, it just…it hurts so much to see the one you love rejecting you… But I'll be strong, Fate-chan needs me and I'll be there for her, always." I wipe the rest of my fallen tears and straitghen up.

"That the Nanoha I know. Go get her tiger. Don't worry, once she recovers' you can propose to her." Hayate said and wink at me.

"H-how…how did you know I wanted to propose to her?" I was stunned; I haven't told anyone yet not even to Vivio.

"Heh…I just said that out of the blue. You were really planning on proposing to her?" I blushed and nod. "Oh my gosh. Well now, you'll have to hurry up and help Fate gain back her memories so you can marry her. I have the perfect wedding dress that would…"

"Oh no, you are not going to plan my wedding. I would never let you." I cut her off and before she started to protest I ran back in the room.

OoO

Third Person POV

Nanoha absently looked at the number put on Fate's hospital door. It's been a week since Fate woke up from her coma, a week that she still claims to not know anyone. At least she accepted the fact that she is Fate T. Harloawn and there was some improvement also. She now let a few nurses and Dr. Shamal approach her and could remember a few childhood memories but there were very vague. After some few test, Shamal said that she was well enough to go home but that would only be if she wanted to. Lindy, her mother had proposed to take care of her when she gets back home until she fully recover her memories but that is only if she trust enough her mother, who is still a stranger to her, to take care of her. Nanoha wanted to be there to see if Fate would now trust her mother, trust her enough to let them take care of her. She finally decide to open the door and go in the room where Lindy and Chrono were in sitting a chair a little few feet from the bed where Fate was. Everyone turned to see who was coming in and when Nanoha looked at Fate she could only feel pain and sorrow as Fate looked at her with fear in her eyes.

"Why is she here?" Fate asks loud enough to be heard.

"Nanoha wanted to be sure that you get home with us safe and sound." Lindy said, trying to reassure her slightly panic daughter.

"Isn't the two of you enough? I'm taking enough risk to trust you two, I don't want to have a third person to worry about if she trust worthy or not."

I was on the verge to cry when Chrono got up came to me and pulled me towards Fate. "Now listen Fate and listen well. This woman is your girlfriend who loves you more that you could possibly imagine. She went thru a lot to find you and bring you back to safety. If it wasn't for her who knows what would have happened to you." Chrono stop talking a moment to let Fate suck in what he just said. "Now please give her a chance to show you that she means no arm to you."

Fate didn't say anything and carefully looked at Nanoha. 'Is she really the one that saved me from that nightmare I can't seem to stop dreaming about…She doesn't have those eyes that I kept seeing in my nightmares.' It was barely a smile but Fate nod and agreed. "Okay I'll trust you all to your words. I just don't wan't my nightmare to become reality."

"And it won't I…we'll do our best to protect you from any harm Fate-chan." Nanoha answered happy to see that Fate is finally accepting her in her life.

"Wonderful, now let pack the little clothes you have and go home. I can wait to show you some of the album pictures. Maybe you'll be able to remember a few things." Lindy said while clapping her hand.

"I would actually like that." And Fate got out of her bed to go get ready to leave in the bathroom.

Chrono walked toward the door. "Good, then I'll go get Dr. Shamal to inform her of your decision." And he got out of the room to go find Shamal.
